september 5th 1996 know I've been lying to you the truth is, I want to bash your skull in piece of shit that I have to get through i really spent the day coming up with ways that I could kill you i'd lose it one small piece at a time there goes my (mind) you didn't really deserve this you're just a victim of circumstances in your skin i hid a key and if she walks through that door... then I'm drinking gasoline (if there's any signal in hell) just look up my name with the local news station find a list of all the things I did to you

hello, this is moleman in the morning good moleman to you today, part four of our series on the agonizing pain in which i live every daaaaay they used to say you could make your trips great your body is a temple, your mind is fake but i hate this spot and it's all too much it's on the tip of my tongue i just need the next few lines 'cause i hate this city and everyone in it it's hard to write this down when i feel every thought is turning my brain white hot it's only ever pain when written with a vision so what's the use when i could never see through? how should i expect any memory i get to stay in my head once the moment's passed? romanticize regret it's all i'll ever get when you're too far gone leave your porch lights on and you don't let anyone in your room 'cause i still hate this city and everyone in it i'm sick and fucking tired of all the grays of life just give me the black and white i'll color in the rest whenever i'm willing but i'm too tired tonight and i might be for a while and you know it's all some bullshit we've been talking about leaving for months but my teeth are still in and my hair's falling out either way... so let's just stay cause i won't be responsible for negative electricity going down your spine into your legs and making you walk all up and down the city streets where you were born to find some sort of affirmation from beyond a sense of doubt that our bodies always end up unwound [instrumental] cause i hate this city and everyone in it i'm frozen to the touch and i feel every cell disintegrate in this hell and i would rather die than ask for permission so we won't go anywhere or meet anyone new tonight Oh, they should actually add that! Yeah, the game would go viral; but take a look at this!

You're a mean old man, you're a mean old bastard. And you scare the life out of folks, that's your thing. You're scaring me, right now, and that's why I don't even... know what to... Come on!
